The Fan

The Fan is an interesting sort of side quest that begins early in the game, and ends when you've played the game a bit through. You'll meet a man named Conrad Verner on the Citadel early in the game, at the location seen above on the map (markets). As you speak with him, you'll quickly learn that Verner is a big fan of yours, an over-eager man who wants a taste of the action you're seeing daily as a Spectre.

This side quest is really, really easy to get through. There's a catch, though. You'll have to speak with Verner three different times. He'll be in the same location each time, but you'll have to find him after certain events have unfolded. The best way to accomplish this is to speak with him once before doing any planetary mission, again after beating one of the planets, and for a last time after defeating two of the three post-Citadel planets. It's the final conversation that's most interesting, since he'll ask to become a Spectre. Handle this situation as you want, in correspondence with how you're playing your character, and don't worry too much. Nothing you say will make this clown a Spectre.
